J-drama Rental in So.Cal


By any chance does anyone ever rent dramas at local Japanese video stores around this area? There are quite a few (usually found next to Japanese supermarkets). Usually selected dramas (such as NTV and TV Asahi ones) are available 2-3 weeks after they aired in Japan, but so far I haven't seen any new ones available even though all the summer dramas started in the beginning of July. I was wondering if anyone know why there is a delay or if they stopped renting them out? Thanks in advance!

Well, that does indeed sound odd. It is probably an issue of import-export or a delay on the part of the companies or an internal problem like that.

You should ask the stores and see why the delay?

Hope I was of some help. emoticon

Thanks for your reply. I thought I'd inquire here first before I attempt to use my poor Japanese. ^_^;;

I was just afraid that there were more restrictions or something regarding these Japanese video stores. I hope not because it was very convenient to check out the latest dramas right away.

My pleasure. =)

Nah, I doubt it. There hasn't been to my knowledge a Japanese export ban on dramas or an American import ban on them. Its prolly the fault of the supermarket company.

Perhaps you could give us some directions since west LA is kind of a broad area and some people may not know the area. emoticon

I wouldn't take the words for face value, no rest, either he's lying just for the sake of post count, or he's heard that there's places in West L.A. Hyun, your posts are very spammy. I don't know what's up with you, but understand that the quality of posts count, not the quantity.

Re: J-drama Rental in So.Cal


If I recall correctly, the Mitsuwa marketplaces in San Gabriel and Santa Monica have small video collections. The one in Torrance does not, but it's in a huge Japanese shopping center with a small video store in the same building and a much, much larger, standalone video store in a separate building (near Person Realty and User's Side).

For addresses of the various Mitsuwas and other C/J/K grocery stores, see our cooking thread.
